The dazzling new novel from Nicola Yoon, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything, Everything (in theaters now!), will have you falling in love with Natasha and Daniel as they fall in love with each other!

Natasha: I’m a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I’m definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won’t be my story.

Daniel: I’ve always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents’ high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I forget about all that. Something about Natasha makes me think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store—for both of us.

The Universe: Every moment in our lives has brought us to this single moment. A million futures lie before us. Which one will come true?

Amazon.com Review

An Amazon Best Book of November 2016: Over the course of a single day in New York City, two teenagers who have nothing in common randomly meet and fall in love. Now I know that sounds absurdly cliché, but somehow in Nicola Yoon’s hands, it doesn’t read that way. Natasha is a practical young woman trying to keep her family from being deported in a matter of hours. Daniel is a poet at heart, but on this day he is dutifully making good on his familial commitment to a college interview. The two are inexplicably drawn to each other and somehow their paths keep converging. The novel is told in alternating points of view, and one of the special touches of Yoon’s book are the chapters narrated by people who are unintentionally part of Natasha and Daniel’s story, mirroring our almost spooky interconnectedness. The Sun is Also a Star is a thought-provoking story of possibility, fate, and the illogical beauty of love. --Seira Wilson, The Amazon Book Review

From School Library Journal

Gr 8 Up—It is Natasha's last day in New York City, where she has lived for 10 years. Her family, living as undocumented immigrants in a small Brooklyn apartment, are being deported to Jamaica after her father's arrest for drunk driving. Natasha is scouring the city for a chance to stay in the United States legally. She wants the normal teen existence of her peers. Meanwhile, poetic Daniel is on his way to an interview as part of his application process to Yale. He is under great pressure to get in because his parents (who emigrated from South Korea) are adamant that he become a doctor. Events slowly conspire to bring the two leads together. When Daniel and Natasha finally meet, he falls in love immediately and convinces her to join him for the day. They tell their stories in alternating chapters. Additional voices are integrated into the book as characters interact with them. Both relatable and profound, the bittersweet ending conveys a sense of hopefulness that will resonate with teens. VERDICT This wistful love story will be adored by fans of Rainbow Rowell's Eleanor & Park and by those who enjoyed the unique narrative structure of A.S. King's Please Ignore Vera Dietz.—Kristin Anderson, Columbus Metropolitan Library System, OH

Her best book yet! I look forward to more from this author

ByThebeeskneesreadson April 21, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

First off, the diversity of characters and perspectives in this book are a large part of the reason why I give this book a 5++ rating of stars. I love the sidesteps that Nicola Yoon takes to give us insight into the primary characters' background as well as the insights into the supplementary characters that Natasha and Daniel meet along the way -- because we are all connected, after all (much like the fabulous criss-crossing string art that makes this beautiful book cover). While I thoroughly enjoyed Everything, Everything, I found this book to have so much more depth in terms of story/plot and style. I actually found myself writing in this book (something I rarely do) because I needed whoever read my copy after me to appreciate those lines, too. For instance, "Maybe part of falling in love someone else is also falling in love with yourself." To me, this was just part of the golden nuggets that Yoon sprinkled throughout. Then, of course, there are the culture and immigrant issues that Yoon touches upon -- so, so very relevant right now. As an individual of mixed race background, I found myself relating to Daniel -- where do I fit? Then Natasha wisely tells him that "It's not up to you to help other people fit you into a box." Again, there was a line that resonated with me to my very core; an adolescent me would have benefited from that advice very much.

*Small spoiler* While I think many individuals are noting that this appears to have the predictable ending, I would argue that it does NOT -- this was just pointed out to me by one of my sharp-eyed students (I'm a high school English teacher and I always pass my books along). A careful reader might note the subtitles below each chapter title -- and therefore, the Epilogue - and perhaps even the last chapter prior to that - should not be considered a part of the novel's primary plot. The last true chapter reflects an individual favoring Natasha's initial perspective, somewhat cynical and very factual based while the Epilogue *<insert other character's name to avoid any spoiler> an Alternate History favors a reader with a more romantic perspective, like Daniel's primary worldview. However, the fact that the Epilogue is subtitled an Alternate History kind of implies that it didn't actually happen. In which case, my heart broke for other reasons not related to Natasha or Daniel. Overall, I just thoroughly enjoyed this book as it definitely strays from the YA predictable norm, in my humble opinion.

Beautiful and unusual love story

ByRobin LandryTOP 1000 REVIEWERon May 24, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is the second book I've read by Nicola Yoon, and it tells me that her book Everything, Everything, was not. Fluke. What an original voice this writer possesses. As a teen novel, her work stands out for its intelligence and the depth her characters portray. Tackling important and touchy subjects, Yoon moves with grace, while always entertaining her readers, which has to always be at the forefront of any good novel.

Like Everything, Everything, this novel centers on the two young people of far different backgrounds and cultures, who fall in love. Natasha is from Jamaica originally, and Daniel is Korean, but born in America. They meet because of what someone might consider 'bad luck', but if fate is at work, as Daniel believes, then everything is a set up because they were meant to fall in love. Natasha relies on science and doesn't believe in love, expect as a chemical reaction. Her father's dream of becoming a great actor has shown her the folly of following your dream, so she follows numbers and decides to be a data specialist, at until her father comes home with a DUI and an order to leave the country he's been staying in illegally for the past nine years. Desperate to stay, Natasha is offered the help of a lawyer, and while on her way to meet with him, she has a series of events that lead her to Daniel, who is also at a crossroads in his life. If he doesn't go to Yale and become a doctor, his parents will cut him off.

I love the way Yoon gives a snippets of the people who influence the two lovers lives, helping them to find their fate and meet. Yoon even gives us short definitions of Fate, and how our eyes work, when Daniel suggests that he and Natasha stare into each other's in order to fall in love scientifically.

Beautifully written, this novel touched my heart and made me feel like magic is still working in our world, even if it's hard to see sometimes.

The Sun Is Also A Star: A Solid Second Novel

ByTina SaysVINE VOICEon November 2, 2016

Format: HardcoverVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )Verified Purchase

Nicola Yoon is receiving rave reviews for her second novel, The Sun Is Also a Star. While I liked it, I am still firmly picking Everything Everything as my favorite novel by this author.

This novel moves between two narrators: Daniel and Natasha. Daniel is a Korean immigrant who is struggling with his parents' expectations that he go to Yale and become a doctor. Natasha and her family are illegals being deported to Jamaica immediately unless they can find some last minute assistance to allow them to remain in the United States.

These two teenagers meet and have only a day together, yet both fall in love. I wanted Natasha and Daniel to have a happily ever after, for Daniel to be able to forge his own path, for Natasha's family to be allowed to remain in the United States.

This book was a very quick read, but in some ways I feel like the short chapters and speed of the story prevented me from being totally invested in Natasha and Daniel. Yoon's ending is also a bit unbelievable, which may bother some readers, but which I enjoyed a lot.

This is a good second novel from a talented author. I had such high expectations after Everything Everything, I'm not sure anything could live up that for me.
